More than 250 women enjoyed the two days of worship and praise; some travelled from as far away as Durham, Raleigh, Charlotte and parts of Virginia.

Friday was a night of praise and prophetic worship, while Saturday was devoted to discovering the spoken Word of God. The event also included an elegant sit-down dinner. The speakers included Pastor Gloria Samuels, Pastor Lisa Caldwell, Apostle Debbie Siriana, Minister Alicia Bailey, Minister Valeria Northington, Prophetess Jennifer Davis and Prophetess Cynthia Hill.

“It’s time to unmask ourselves and release the true beauty deep within, said Pastor Washington, who was inspired by her work with female prisoners to start the conference in 2007. “The Power of God fell and women were set free. The masks came off and God’s anointing power began to restore, heal, and deliver.”

Attendee Minister Pecolia Breathette said the conference was like none she’d ever attended.“This conference did not have any workshops, nail care or hair care sessions,” she said. “It deals with the spirit of a woman, the inner depths of her soul to set her free. And many were set free and empowered.”
